Ballvelt Farm, is exceptional, it is totally unique within its wider setting, occupying one of the most picturesque situations on the Isle of Man; consequently, Deanwoods are proud to be instructed to sell on behalf of the vendor. The are very few intact equivalent farms that come for sale renovated and maintained to such order, powered by renewable energy.
If you were asked to draw a traditional farm from scratch, the result would come very close to what Ballavelt provides. There is much to be admired with this property, it has it all, it is bursting at the seams with potential.
A true classic traditional Manx stock farm, Ballavelt Farm is as Manx as the hills, with the current range of buildings dating from the 19th Century, and evidence to suggest much earlier occupation with a number of Tholtons; highlighting the favourability of the setting.
Having visited the Ballavelt, the hills and the sea are what etch in the mind. The 360-degree views are both captivating & capacious, you can see many famous Manx landmarks, and could paint a landscape picture at every turn, as the colours and seasons change throughout the year; as do the views, enjoyment and life on the farm. No one day is the same.
Behind the house is an exposed outcrop, owned by the farm, which is perfect for children to play in, also a ridgeline enabling views both West towards the sea and East over to Bride, further along the coastline, overlooking Ramsey Bay. The fabulous and owe inspiring, views are extremely rare to come by. Could there be a better place in which to bring up a growing family. Furthermore, the property falls within the much recommend Dhoon School catchment.
Positioned at the end of a long sweeping long driveway, Ballavelt, offers the purchaser the complete privacy, with no public rights of way on the farm, you can escape and sit in your own sanctity; totally ringfenced within your own land.
The farm buildings comprise: - Three Story Victorian 5 Bedroom Farmhouse, Courtyard with 3 Bedroom Cottage (Ripe for renovation), a range of barns (inclusive of a Two Story 32.78m x 4.88m traditional build slate roof barn & a 13.85m x 10.01M portal framed stable), a Shepards rest room, a Jacuzzi and range of garages.
The Vendor is offering 60 acres of a total of 83 acres with the sale (the remaining is offered subject to further negotiations). It is in good heart and has its own water supply in the fields, which are fenced. The fields themselves are large manageable (often quite unform fields), with potential to subdivide and sell to neighbouring properties.
Since purchasing the farm, assuming the property would be their forever home, the vendors have undertaken an meticulous extensive, and sympathetic renovation of the property, whilst retaining many original architectural features. The renovation works have included: -
Stripping of the farmhouse back to the four walls and completely renovating the property
New electrics, heating (Oltron Next System), internal structure/insulation and layout, bathrooms, fireplaces, new German Kitchen, new Bathrooms, underfloor heating, top floor has new Velux windows in addition he vendor has created first rate childrens bedrooms with self-contained studies. Intuitive storage and sliding doors throughout.
Electrics in the barns, barns re-roofed
new solar power system, Tesla battery storage, new diesel back up system
Roofs throughout have been repaired and replaced, including on the stone barns cottage and outhouses
Creation of a Jacuzzi room and shepherds welfare room.
New portal frame stable
The Farmhouse comprises 5 double bedrooms (The Master being ensuite) two family bathrooms (one on each floor), two reception room, a kitchen dining room, a utility and plant room. Outside is an outhouse, a spring with free flowing natural water and a large decking perfect for entertaining family and friends. Being a family home there is much built in storage throughout, of note is the cupboards in the hallway and two large cupboards with two offices in the top floor bedroom.
Now that the Farmhouse has been totally renovated and made energy efficient back to its bear bones, the baton is being handed to the next purchaser to utilise the buildings and the land to its full potential. All the key ingredients are there to sow the seeds, to grow and to create, turning dreams into a reality; opportunities such as this only come about once in a generation.
Potential business opportunities and income generating uses abound, be it a small business, livery, holiday accommodation or more permanent rentals, subject to the necessary planning permission, there are favourable planning polices for the conversion of the traditionally built barns.
To surmise, there is nothing quite like Ballavelt on the market, which offers so much to the table, subsequently; viewing comes highly recommended at the earliest opportunity. We expect much interest in Ballavelt.
